82% of all staged forces as of this morning according the US DOD.
- ashwagary 5y agoUnfortunately, the massive propaganda campaign may extend into the DOD's public narrative. It did with the Iraq and Syrian wars.
- raducu 5y agoYeah, the DOD lies, like they lied about Russia invading Ukraine. How could glorious Russia commit more than 0.5% of their forces if they haven't won yet?
- ashwagary 5y ago>Yeah, the DOD lies, like they lied about Russia invading Ukraine. We can't ignore the 50+ years of lies about various conflicts around the world and the coups/ assassinations where the public was purposely misled. This isn't new and ridiculing the observation is unproductive. Ignore history at your own peril. I will say, Russia has probably increased their forces at this point but it may not be as much as claimed by the DOD.
- raducu 5y agoAnd for what reason would Russia commit so few troops? Other than explaining away russian embarrasment of the way things are going.
- ashwagary 5y agoKeeping civilian casualties to a minimum seems to be the objective. I expect things will escalate rapidly until Eastern Ukraine is under Russian control but only after most civilians are evacuated.
